Hi,
I am using a org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.converters.Converter to convert my enum field to smallint.
The converter works fine if i have a value in this field, but if the field is null eclipselink tries to insert as string.
How can i fix this problem?

Could you include the code for your converter.

You can set the type for the field be defining the Converter's initialize() method and setting the type (or jdbcType) on the field.

i.e.
public void initialize(DatabaseMapping mapping, Session session) {
((DirectToFieldMapping)this.mapping).setFieldClassification( Short.class);
}
